Closely related Pseudodiaptomus inopinus Burckhardt, 1913.
Sakaguchi & Ueda (2018, p.178) indicated in 2010, morphological and genetic differences between P. nansei and the cryptic species P. inopinus and P. japonicus (as P. inopinus from the Tsuri-kawa River (33°50'53''N, 130°30'10''E), in this form, shorter posterior processses of the female genital operculum than those in P. japonicus Kikuchi, 1928, and a pointed distomedial process of the first exopodal segment of the female P5. The morphological differences are evident between P. nansei, japonicus and P inopinus (LP-form). The COI sequences of P. nansei (Sakaguchi & Ueda, 1010) also revealed 21% or more from P.japonicus. Therefore, the two species are different, although both formerly identified as the same species-P. inopinus.
